Default lost a large bf koi and other things

usual reason for jumping koi at this time of year.... spawning. stubby tailed ones
can jump higher and further than bttflys. BTW, shelves are one way to discourage
jumping. the deep the pond the more omph they can gather on the way up.

in summer jumping is often pH related. and of course koi will jump due to predator
activity.

at least they arent like those damn jumping carp getting into all the rivers now.
knock people right outta their boats. Ingrid
